Unf*ck How Your Brain Thinks About Money...

Shari Rash, Money Podcast for Women, Personal Finance, Relationships & Mental Health
About this episode

Without thinking, tell me your first thought that comes to mind about money. My guess is your thought isn’t super positive. And that’s not your fault. Your brain is always driving what you’re feeling and how you’re acting, and is where all the programming you get from society and your family is stored - especially when it comes to money. This all goes into your brain, and then your brain comes up with its own idea about money. So, you must learn how to rewire your thoughts about money. The reason you don’t change isn’t because you don’t want to. Instead, your wiring about money and your thoughts about money are keeping you stuck. I want you to meet Kara Loewentheil. You might know her as the host of the top-rated podcast Unf*ck Your Brain. She’s also a J.D., a Master Certified Coach, the creator of The Clutch, and the author of a soon-to-be-released book, Take Back Your Brain.  In this episode, we talk practically about how to rewire your money mindset and how to think better thoughts when it comes to your money (like getting rid of needing to hide the stuff you buy) with something Kara calls the thought ladder and something I know you’ll love, how to get out of the scarcity mindset, and so much more. This episode is a great way to kick off the new year!
